Agreed. I think The Hand looked more incompetent in this than we've ever seen them.

I think it started in Iron Fist where Hand operatives were changed to regular thugs and more so in Defenders. They deviated loads from the heartbeat masking highly efficient assassins that they had been in Daredevil.

OK, its got a lot wrong going on here, no question, but its not as bad as the reviews made out. There are some really weak performances, some dreadful writing. and some really sub-par effects, but it wasn't all the way bad. I'll say it exceeded expectations, and so earns another chance.

Apparently The Gifted started on Fox in the UK about three weeks ago so I've some catching up to do. Watched the first episode thus far and really enjoyed it. Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of the X-Men I was glad to be able to know who the kids were largely thanks to Thunderbolts and recognised most of the Mutant underground members.

Though the light beams guy had myself guessing everyone from Chamber to Sunspot until I looked it up and found he was a new character but inspired by others.

It started here around the same time I think. Either way, I've also been watching it and I think it's...pretty good. Certainly enjoyable and I'm going to continue watching it, but I can't help but think that it's missing something.

IMHO, it’s the best X-Men related show ever on TV, at least as far as they’ve gotten 3 episodes in. I’m really enjoying it a lot. Some of that may be a reaction to how hopelessly bad Inhumans is, but I think they are really capturing the “Trapped in a world that hates them” vibe, while capturing some of the exhilaration and joy of being able to blow shit up with light beams from your hands.
